Comments on: Where in the World? http://www.disciplemexico.org/2006/11/where-in-world.html News, notes and personal reflection from the Godzwa family during their mission to make disciples in Mexico Mon, 13 Oct 2008 13:32:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Dave http://www.disciplemexico.org/2006/11/where-in-world.html#comment-108 Dave Fri, 24 Nov 2006 17:28:00 +0000 http://disciplemexico.org/wordpress/2006/11/where-in-world.html#comment-108 It is such a strange feeling being in the middle of these ruins, where ancient civilizations once flourished. In each site, I tried to imagine the experience of being there. Everything, down to the crafts that were being sold seemed to be tied to their religion and their struggle to survive and manipulate their surroundings. How freeing it is to know that our God loves us, and that he is not one who requires sacred rituals or formulas in order to be reached.

And how lucky that you guys are still wearing shorts. Must be nice! The ring for the game creeped me out. The game is called jai-alai and in the earliest days the losers would be sacrificed and their heads would adorn the rink for the next game. Amazing how barbaric earlier civilizations could be.
